SOPHIE TANNER MARRIED HERSELF IN A UNITARIAN SERVICE - SOLOGAMIST SAYS THE COMMITMENT DIDN'T HURT ANYONE ELSE

DAILY MAIL FEMALE : SOPHIE TURNER MARRIED HERSELF

It's an interesting story and the article by Latoya Gayle is loaded with photos from the wedding.  Basically after being cheated upon, Sophie, who is now 42, decided not just to be committed to herself but actually have a wedding.  She had the church, the minister, the dresses.

EXCERPTS:

SOPHIE SAID SHE STOPPED EXPLAINING WHY SHE HASN'T SETTLED DOWN and FOUND EMPOWERMENT IN THE SIX YEAR SINCE HER WEDDING.

Before her ceremony she had relationships of varying lengths but had a tendency to put her partner's need before her own and was frequently cheated on.  She added that the experiences made her question if there was something 'wrong' with her.

...

The self-declared "sologamist' said self love has never been more important than in the last year.

She added: 'The enforced isolation that lockdown has brought on us this past year has meant that self care and self love have become less of a fad and more of a priority.  Personally, I've had to dig deeper into my reserves of self-love than ever before, and the experience has been humbling.

FAKE NEWS STORIES - NEWS ROT - THE NEGATIVE EFFECT ON YOUR PYSCHE

About six weeks ago, I finally started e- reading, mostly books.  It was time.  I had noticed that I was reading Daily Mail UK too much, though the publication does have some excellent coverage of "hard news," such as the Presidential election, it's very driven by the 'soft news" of celebrity, especially women so desperate for attention that they are exhibitionists, and coverage of inhuman acts and terrorism.  I started feeling that nothing was right with this world, and that's simply not true.  I had also grown unhappy with my news AP, which I upgraded and still don't much like.   There's nothing like a news AP to reveal how repetitive the news gets and how few real journalists there are, fact checking, making sure that an issue has coverage from more than one point of view and isn't just a PR piece being placed in as fact.  Then there is the spectacle of FAKE NEWS STORIES, which do come up on news APS and which I had to work my way through, when wanting to know the real story, about the hacking scandals, the election, and much else.  FAKE NEWS STORIES waste our time.  Reading e-books of my choice has drastically cut down on the amount of time I'm reading information that I can't rely on and that I don't want to color my outlook negatively.


It occurred to me that those who do not have the constant and chronic overwrought of child bearing and raising, though rarely living lives of leisure, might actually expose themselves more, and that all this might be having a profoundly negative effect on us.


Consider that the Daily Mail UK seems to always have the expose on abusive parents, especially those who torture and kill their children.  It's not that I don't want to know these things happen, it's that it seems that people without ethics and morals of any sort, sociopaths, psychopaths, people a whole lot like Charlie Manson and his ilk, are everywhere.  It's as if evil is taking over the world.


Not having children myself does not mean that I hate children or that I'm not a child advocate!  In fact, understanding what a child needs to prosper, even feeling at times that no person should be allowed to raise a child who hasn't completed special classes to learn how to, is one of the many reasons I chose not to have children.  I know that I do not have the resources.


Over the holidays I was thinking about all the children in the world who are born to die, the children who labor to support themselves and their families and never go to school, the girls who are sex trafficked or raped or sold into slavery or married off before they can safely have sex, be pregnant, and deliver a baby.  Because these are often people "of color" and in the so called "Third World"  one has to be sensitive to cultural differences and expectations, but IF EVERY CHILD IN THIS WORLD WERE WANTED, and FURTHER, COULD BE AFFORDED BY IT'S PARENT(S), THERE WOULD BE NO OVERPOPULATION!


This year I don't know how often I will have to face off with, or walk away from, or ignore, people who want to find fault with me, people who want to think of me as defective in some way, for not having children.  This discrimination against me and my type seems to be never ending.  WHEN OTHER WOMEN are finding fault with me, I really have to wonder what their version of feminism is, if any.  Nothing is worse than a woman who defines herself by motherhood and then raises brats!


To me, any publication that propagates the notion or belief that being NEVER MARRIED - NO KIDS is not a valid and proper choice for some of us, is basically a FAKE NEWS outlet.

WOW!  go to the article to see a picture of Sophie and her dad walking her down the isle to herself!

LEONARDO DICAPRIO gets SLOGGED FOR BEING NMNK by DAILY MAIL UK JOURNALIST

Reading Daily Mail - UK, the other day, and was stunned that one of their regular columnists,  Jan Moir, a woman, was slogging the remarkable actor Leonardo DiCaprio, because he still hasn't Settled Down (have you noticed it's not Settled UP?) married, and had children.  Di Caprio is famous and he can't have a relationship without it being known and dissected.  He enjoys being surrounded by women, and appears to be a serial monogamist of heterosexual orientation, and has had some long term relationships that didn't turn into marriage, including five years with model Giselle.  Lesser men have been known to also have many girlfriends and lovers,  but they aren't famous to be targeted this way. 

WHY SHOULD HE BE?

Read the stupid woman's rant here : JAN MOIR : LOTHARIO DICAPRIO will END MISERABLE AND ALONE

Leonardo is only 41 years old, way too young to "end up" and as for veteran Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson, he has children, and is simply feeling the effects of old age as most of us will someday.  The report that he was sitting all alone waiting for death was published in a tabloid.  It probably isn't even true.  He's probably just become more selective or slowed down.

If Leonardo wants children, because he is male, there is plenty of time unless he's not capable.  It's no lie that men can and do marry much younger women and have children with them, He can also adopt or have children by surrogate.  (Note that I have not heard one negative word about Elton John and his male partner having two sons by surrogate, and Elton was about 60 when he became a first time father. 

So there is age discrimination happening here too.

MOIR thinks there is ONE WAY FOR A PERSON, even one who loves their work, affords the best, travels the word, IS VERY INVOLVED IN ACTIVISM, and is socially well connected and invited all over, TO BE FULFILLED. 

She has GOT to be kidding!

This columnist is basically so BACKWARD, it's amazing to me that she's even breathing in 2016!

Of course her distain is shown in that she does not like "Lotharios."  Let me be the one to say that most of the glamorous and ambitious models and actresses and other women Leonardo has been a Lothario with have not exactly just arrived in from the nunery.  These are aware women.  These are sexy women.  These women are not demanding they be married before they have sex.  So MOIR is blaming the man for sex when it's more like It Takes Two to Tango.

She needs to check her attitude but, sadly, there are a lot of people out there who still think like she does.
